Hey There, Whilst trying to get and install the rar file compression utility, I encountered a bit of an interesting obstacle. It seems that this file is either obsolete and hence no longer supported by Linux, or something else of that nature has made this application unavailable via mainstream measures. I have several radio plays, books and documentaries that have been compressed using rar, so I therefore don't quite know what to do in order to process these particular files so they can be played by my media utilities. Here is the error message that the "apt" command returned. Quote On: apt-get install rar Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done Package rar is not available, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source E: Package 'rar' has no installation candidate Quote Off: Since this is my first time encountering this particular problem, I will be more than open to and thankful for any and all suggestions concerning the matter. cheerio, Riv Feel free to visit my website and my blog and learn more about me and what I stand for.
